Bayesian Filtering for Homography Estimation

Robotics 2023-10-17 v1

Abstract

This paper considers homography estimation in a Bayesian filtering framework using rate gyro and camera measurements. The use of rate gyro measurements facilitates a more reliable estimate of homography in the presence of occlusions, while a Bayesian filtering approach generates both a homography estimate along with an uncertainty. Uncertainty information opens the door to adaptive filtering approaches, post-processing procedures, and safety protocols. In particular, herein an iterative extended Kalman filter and an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter are tested using both simulated and experimental datasets. The IMM is shown to have good consistency properties and better overall performance when compared to the state-of-the-art homography nonlinear deterministic observer in both simulations and experiments.
